notify if a process take more than X time
Hi all, I need add to my script a notify if a process take more than X time, so using ps I can see what time take a process: ps -ao cmd,etime|grep backup /bin/sh ./backup03:44:55 what's the easy way to do a notify by email? redirect output of ps to file and use sed for analize the past time, next verify with if/then or there's a better way? any idea? thanks for help!

Hm.. I don't know how to do the notify bit, but you *can* send a signal to the offending process if it takes more than a certain time - the command you need for this is timeout (part of GNU coreutils). This is handy for killing off processes that get stuck... Hope this helps -- Karl E. Jorgensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hello Lars and thanks for your reply Maybe use timeout(1) to send a signal (e.g. USR1) and have your script trap that signal and send a mail when it receives it? something like it, yep if a process take long time, I need have a notification by email without change executing of that process.

Pol Might be overkill but take a look at ps-watcher package if it is available in your Debian version. -- rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
